The War Saint

A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller (The Posh Prepper Trilogy, Book 3)

By: Todd Knight

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

An apocalyptic virus. A hit list. A hopeless martyr.

One month after the mysterious "Scratch 'n Sniff" outbreak began in Boston, the world is returning to normal. The miracle vaccine is working. Food is back on tables. And America Back Online is restoring faith in the country.

Nick Ritter, an expert crisis consultant, is a shattered man. Dr. Teddy Monroe and his partners turned his brother against him, shot his friend, and branded him a terrorist.

With nothing left to lose, Nick declares war on everyone. Disappearing underground, he recruits an unlikely ally to launch one last plan. And it all starts with a hit list of twenty names.

As Dr. Monroe and the FBI close in, the family grapples with their future:

Abby Blackwell, a postpartum teen mother, is haunted by guilt. When she shares her dark secret with Nick, he convinces her to chase an impossible salvation.

Brian Donahue, a reawakened warrior, wrestles with the loss of Lamb under his command. When he discovers the true depth of his failure, something inside him breaks.

Zoe Donahue, an aspiring minister, loses her faith. But a message from a strange figure sends her searching for a divine sign.

Tracy Donahue, a passionate chef, tries to save her family from Nick. As his rampage spirals, she becomes convinced he’s going to destroy himself and everyone around him.

Dana Foster, a battle-scarred doctor, pulls away from Nick. When he promises her a happy life in New Zealand, she gives him an ultimatum.

Mikey Reed, an orphaned handyman, struggles to process the death of his adoptive grandfather. Lost in the strife of the group, he becomes obsessed with a strange calling.

Now Nick must call on his disaster-planning skills to survive, facing off against a hit list of enemies to deliver Monroe to justice, bring the world a cure, and save his family from ruin. But as his war spreads, Nick careens toward the dark fate of a hopeless martyr. And by his side stands his last hope.

A High-Stakes Finale for the Posh Prepper

An absolutely satisfying end to the Posh Prepper trilogy. Todd Knight keeps the pace tight all the way through, balancing character development, suspense, and plenty of twists and turns. The characters really draw you in—you empathize with them, feel frustrated by them at times, and still end up rooting for them.

Nick, the posh prepper, fully steps into action-hero territory here, but he still carries all the human insecurities and flaws that make him relatable. That balance makes the finale especially engaging.

Tom Taylorson’s narration is first-class and truly brings the story to life.

Overall: 4.5/5 ⭐

A new spin!

I’ve listened to the whole trilogy, it was fantastic! In some series (by other authors) there are usually some books that could be skipped…..not in these, this last book in my opinion was the best! I loved them all from beginning to end! The story keeps you enthralled and focused, keeps you wondering what will happen next!!!!! It was different from other end of the World Series I’ve listened too, the narrators were fantastic! I highly recommend reading or listening to this series!! And I really hope he writes more, I’m looking forward to them!!!

A solid trilogy!

The third title in this trilogy was more than I expected. Great story from the first book to the third! I would recommend this series to anyone who loves the apocalyptic genre!!!

Unexpected but satisfying ending to a great series

This trilogy started with the unique concept of the "posh prepper" and his found family trying to survive and thrive in a world moving toward destruction. I became invested in the characters from the beginning and along the way new favorites were introduced. The narrator was excellent and I enjoyed listening to their voice in this audio book.

The main character Nick has really become a full on action hero at this point. Not only smart and resourceful but risk taking and self sacrificing for the greater good and for his family. New enemies and plot is introduced in this 3rd book and leads to unexpected twists and turns. The action moves fast! I loved how this 3rd book ties up loose ends but also creates more drama, more characters to wonder about and root for. Even when I'm mad at a character (Tracy!) I still love them and understand why they are acting that way. I fully recommend this book and this series for anyone who loves character driven action packed stories!
